Best 787-9 Seat in Business Premier ( Long haul)
Booked myself on a long haul of one of these. The price was eye watering.
Sadly this will be in the next coming months. I am travelling alone.
The census has been on the left side, but where?
( did a search, I'm surprised this topic hasn't been posted)

I don't find it noticeable. I have my own noise cancelling headphones plus when I go to sleep I use a pair of ear plugs. The privacy aspect of the back row is what I like.

Being in 01A upside (?) is that you can’t see other pax but they can all see you 😳
Downside is that it is near the galley, and you’ll get the foot traffic to the forward loo.
01A looking to the rear
01A with the bulkhead to your left
01A showing the bulkhead to your left

There's a tiny ledge next to 1A ( very small indeed). I intend to put my man bag on that ledge.
Could not care less about people seeing me. I sleep with an eyemask to so the light from the galley won't be a bother.

That said I generally take 01A and enjoy that location.
